Storyline

A child at the elementary school in Nonant, France, asked North Carolina veteran Ray Lambert whether he still had nightmares of D-Day. Lambert responded that when the English Channel is rough, he sometimes thinks he can hear the voices of men calling out to him.

The former Army medic was wounded three times on Omaha Beach, not far from the school where he was speaking. But as painful as those memories can be, the 98-year-old soldier says he feels a duty to tell younger generations about the war, in hopes of preventing another one.

About four dozen children sat rapt on the floor in the tiny Normandy town to listen to Lambert. They asked him about his wounds, and whether he hated his enemies. Lambert said he didn't hate, but that he had to help defeat the Germans, because Adolf Hitler was evil.

When the talk was over, the children applauded and swarmed the old man. And grateful teachers and parents gave him the traditional double kiss on his ruddy cheeks.
